What else can I help you with?
What determines a rock's compositions?
minerals inside the rock determine the rocks composition
What characteristics determines the chemical composition of an igneous rock?
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and what?
The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and climate. Rock composition determines the susceptibility of a rock to weathering, while climate influences the rate and type of weathering that occurs, with factors such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation playing key roles.
Which characteristic determines the category of metamorphic rock?
The texture and mineral composition of a rock are the characteristics that determine its category in metamorphic rocks. Texture refers to the arrangement of mineral grains, while mineral composition indicates the types of minerals present and their abundance.
What determines how a rock is weathered?
Mostly water determines but even wind helps in it.
What role does grammar play in correct composition?
Grammar is what determines whether the composition is correct.
What besides size and position determines clastic sedimentary rock texture?
Clastic sedimentary rock texture is also influenced by factors such as mineral composition, sorting (uniformity of particle size), rounding (degree of edges and corners), and grain angularity (shape of grains). These factors can provide information about the energy of the environment where the rock was formed.
What other factors determines the brightness of a star?
Composition and distance.
What determines how fast a rock will weather?
Climate and the type of rock
What changes composition of rock?
I believe you are looking for the word "metamorphism".
What best explains the relationship between parent rock and soil composition?
The parent rock largely determines the mineral content of the soil through weathering processes. Rocks high in minerals like quartz will yield sandy soils, while those with more clay minerals will form clayey soils. The composition of the parent rock influences the fertility and nutrient content of the resulting soil.
The mineral composition of the oceanic crust is similar to the composition of what rock?
The mineral composition of the oceanic crust is similar to the composition of basalt rock. Basalt is a type of volcanic rock that contains minerals such as feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine, which are also commonly found in the oceanic crust.
